Jams couldn't have imagined that while he was fixated on The Fair Lady, he had also captured the attention of this seductive and charming antagonist.
That night, he slept soundly, dreaming of Jean, Lumine, Keqing, Yae Miko, Eula, and Nahida...
"Jams, wake up, Jean Commander asked me to call you for breakfast!"
"Mmm..."
The next morning, Jams rubbed his eyes and got up from the sofa, looking bewildered at the little Klee snuggling into his arms.
"Good morning, Jams~"
"What's so good about the morning? Next time, say 'I love you' instead!"
Jams pinched Klee's soft cheek and helplessly said, "Stop snuggling, couldn't you just come in without that?"
With that, he lifted Klee's petite body and held her in his arms, resting his chin on her forehead, lost in thought.
"Um, Jams, you should go wash up now. Klee has already squeezed toothpaste and prepared hot water for your face."
Klee squinted her eyes, resembling a gentle little kitten.
Although she cherished Jams' embrace, she hadn't forgotten that she came to wake him up for breakfast.
"Where am I?"
Jams was momentarily stunned but then remembered that his Goth Grand Hotel had been destroyed by Stormterror yesterday.
Yesterday, when he went back to check on the house, he found it completely flattened, with only bare ground remaining!
And then, he just passed out.
"But my house was only hit by a boulder, how did it get destroyed when I came back? Klee, do you know what happened?"
"Um... I... I don't know."
Upon hearing Jams' question, Klee trembled and weakly replied, "Klee really doesn't know."
"Really?!"
Jams carefully observed Klee's changing expression and continued, "Actually, the house doesn't matter as long as I can be with you, even if it means going to jail."
"Really!?"
Klee's spirits immediately lifted, and she tightly hugged Jams' neck, joyfully saying in her sweet voice, "It was just a bouncy bomb! Jams, will you forgive Klee~?"
"Heh."
Jams' eye twitched slightly; he didn't expect it to be a bouncy bomb indeed.
His heart was bleeding!
He cupped Klee's cheeks and rubbed them forcefully, half-smiling as he said, "Of course, I choose to forgive you. But be careful from now on. If there's another time, I'll personally escort you to the confinement room!"
"Um, Jams, you said you would forgive me." Klee pouted, her beautiful eyes filled with grievances.
She didn't intentionally blow up the house.
It was just that during the attack by Stormterror yesterday, things were chaotic, and everyone lost some belongings to varying degrees.
Amber left her bow and arrows at Jams' place, Barbara left her clothes at Jams' place.
And Klee left the bomb at Jams' place...
"Sigh, stop pretending to be pitiful and let's go eat."
Jams ruffled Klee's small head, without much reproach in his eyes.
The house was already partially destroyed by Stormterror, and now it was completely blown up. It might as well be rebuilt.
"Hmph, Klee is angry!"
Klee shook her head, pouting with a look that said, "I'm angry, and you can't calm me down."
"Be good, I'll feed you later."
"With what?"
Klee's eyes brightened as she asked with some anticipation.
"What else would I use to feed you? Of course, a spoon. What are you thinking?"
Jams raised his hand and lightly tapped Klee's forehead, then, despite her struggling, he picked her up.
"Don't make a fuss, or I'll spank you!" Jams threatened.
"Ahwoo, Klee isn't afraid!"
Rather than surrendering, Klee opened her mouth and bit Jams' shoulder.
Smack!
"Ow~"
Klee's eyes became slightly moist, her voice soft and tender. "If you have the guts, do it again. I'll make you regret it!"
Smack!
"You dare hit me again!"
Smack!
"You..."
"That's enough. You look like you're enjoying it. You don't seem like an innocent little girl at all."
Jams gave Klee a few more taps and noticed her fair complexion becoming even more rosy. Even her cute pointed ears were tinged with a blush, giving her a seductive allure.
This little girl actually enjoyed getting her bottom spanked.
"Hey... Jams, you're such a pervert~"
As if her thoughts had been exposed, Klee blushed shyly and playfully hit Jams' chest with her small pink fist, but it was only a ticklish sensation for Jams.
"Mind your appearance. This is the Knights of Favonius. You wouldn't want me to be thrown into prison, would you?"
Jams walked into the dining hall, feeling several envious and jealous glances directed at him.
When he sat across from Jean, holding little Klee, they looked like a happy family, chatting and laughing. The young knights couldn't help but cast him vicious glares with their eyes!
Jean elegantly used her cutlery to divide the meat on her plate. Her violet eyes carried a gentle warmth, and there was a faint smile on her lips.
"Did you sleep well last night? We don't have any spare rooms in the Knights of Favonius, so I had to make you, the hero of Mondstadt, sleep on the couch in the reception room..."
"Don't worry, I'm not picky about beds. I can sleep anywhere."
Jams flexed his strong biceps, grinned, and said, "I'm full of energy today!"
Pfft!
Jean covered her mouth and chuckled, but soon felt that something was amiss.
"When I was holding you while you slept last night, you said you were fine with any bed. Why are you suddenly not fine with it today? Are you doing this on purpose...?"
Coughing, Jams chuckled and changed the subject. "Why haven't I seen Lumine and Amber? They should have stayed with the Knights of Favonius last night, right?"
"Yes."
Jean nodded slightly and spoke softly. "They went out on a mission."
"On a mission?"
Jams fed little Klee a sip of milk, wiped her mouth, and then looked at Jean curiously.
Jean pursed her lips and sighed lightly. "We underestimated the impact brought by Stormterror. It not only damaged parts of Mondstadt but also disrupted the flow of elements and the circulation of ley lines."
"According to our investigation, the reason it can unleash such powerful force is that it absorbed the residual energy from the Starfell Valley."
"To completely resolve this threat, we must quickly eliminate the residual energy in the Thousand Winds Temple."
"So you sent them to the Thousand Winds Temple?"
Jams nodded inwardly; this matched the original plot development.
"Lumine is a passionate traveler willing to step forward and help us. She, along with Amber, Lisa, and Kaeya, formed a team and are already on their way to the temples."
"Okay."
Jams nodded and fed Klee a hot and steamy sausage.
"Mmm... gulp... Jams, it's so big... and hot... It's too deep, and my saliva is flowing out, sob."
"Lower your voice, you silly little girl!"
Jams broke into a cold sweat. He was just innocently feeding her sausage, but the words he used could easily be misunderstood!
...
Sitting across from him, Jean bit her lip, her cheeks slightly flushed.
It was supposed to be a very heartwarming scene, so why did it feel a bit... inappropriate when it came to Jams and Klee?
Watching Klee enjoy her meal so much, Jean couldn't help but feel a little envious...
